When Jake Patrick took a
summer internship at his estranged father’s corporation, he anticipated some
much-needed extra cash and a couple of free meals from his guilty dad. He would
never have guessed that he'd find himself in the center of an international
scandal involving a U.S. senator, conspiracy, backroom politics, and murder. Or
that his own life would hang in the balance. Or that he’d find help – and much
more than that – from a collection of memorable characters operating on all
sides of the law. Jake’s summer has turned into the most eventful one of his
life. Now he just needs to survive it.

From the sweatshops of Saipan to the most powerful offices in Washington, SWEAT
rockets through a story of crime and consequences with lightning pacing, a twisting
plot, an unforgettable cast of characters, and wry humor. It is another nonstop
thriller from one of the most exciting new voices in suspense fiction.
